Sales and profits are important factors in all businesses.

Over the years, we have come across many businesses with good turnover and profitability, however they effectively run out of oxygen, otherwise known as cash. It is one thing making a sale, however if your clients pay you too slowly, or fail to pay you at all, this can lead to business failure.
 
Additionally, rapidly expanding businesses can run out of cash very quickly. Increased sales also come with increased costs on items such as additional stock, raw materials and labour costs. Without a steady supply of cash, businesses can risk overtrading and running into cashflow difficulties.
